Torsten Sven Rich-Wimmer utilizes his expertise as an active musician, engineer, and Ableton Certified Trainer to equip aspiring artists, producers and recording/mix engineers with all the necessary tools through interactive lectures and various online resources.

Torsten took to the musical/theatrical stage by the age of nine. He developed a unique connection with each audience, painting melodic murals in order to share his vision. Proficiently studied in piano, guitar, bass, drum, and turntablism, Torsten shunned classical performance in his early teens and instead embraced various underground venues. Developing a love for EDM in the early 2000’s, he quickly built a reputation in local circles for his remixes and live performances.

After earning a degree in business-management, Torsten fills a valuable role on numerous advisory boards with independent record labels, recording/mastering studios, and higher-education facilities. Torsten taught over 30 subjects and rewrote various course materials, including music theory, studio acoustics, and large-format console theory while working as the head instructor for SAE Institute San Francisco. His passion for hardware-software-peopleware integration led to a consulting career, teaching master classes in EDM production and performance, venue maximization, music business and marketing, as well as audio design for games.

Discontented with teaching limited audiences, Torsten developed his ByteSyzed YouTube lecture series. These 2-minute videos synopsize complex technical concepts using Ableton Live as the primary framework, or feature hardware and software reviews endorsed by leading music software and hardware companies, such as IK Multimedia and iZotope Inc.
